I'm thinking GM Bobotav ( not sure what country ) was a heavy smoker. Remember seeing a picture of him puffing away during a game with Petrosian.
Who said it wasn't healthy? Tal did it. If you don't do it, you suck forever.

As was already said above: The answer is very simple: it is bad to smoke for any person, be it chessplayer or not.
"Should a chess player smoke?"
"Definitely no."
"Then should a smoker play chess?"
"Anyone can play chess."
it is bad for you in general, doesn't matter if you are a chess player or not.

I have become a better player since I quit smoking. At my club, I cant smoke when I play. An hour into a game, I would start to crave and wasnt concentrating on the game as much.

Smoking, like all drugs, are designed to enhance the enjoyment we derive from certain activities. I can't imagine a nicer morning setting than me sitting at the coffee table with a cup of strong black tea and a joi .. uhm, I mean a cigarette. 😀

It's a choice folks. People know the hazards these days so it's up to them, though I'd discourage young people from starting as it's very addictive. One of the reasons smoking is so addictive is because the producers make it that way, it's good for business y'see.
A bit like junk food full of sugar, salt and other dodgy additives Geekbar, but McDonalds and others in the that line of business do very well from encouraging children to consume the junk.
I'm always amazed that the producers of cigarettes are allowed to add so many poisons to their product, but then they have many politicians who lobby on their behalf, and of course the product brings in a fortune in taxes.
Smoking is bad for a chess player because it reduces cognitive function, impairs focus, decreases stamina, and leads to long-term health issues that can affect performance during long games and tournaments.
Large numbers of chess players are really old, so they fall asleep while playing and the fag between their fingers can slip onto the carpet and burn the house down.
